It's not "less than ideal". It's dreadful. The OSMF license team have created a document explaining why. We've had lawyers confirming that it probably doesn't work. Even the people who created it say that it should not be used for data. That is, Creative Commons have advised us, and everyone else, to not use CCBYSA for data. It doesn't come more plain than that. But that hasn't stopped you from having your own opinion, which is that you aren't swayed by all the evidence to the contrary, and whenever you ask for such evidence and it's provided, you seem to shrug it off anyway. I'm not sure if there's any avenue left that we can help you with? If it's your settled decision that CCBYSA is actually OK, even after all this, then I can't think of anything that will help inform your decision more than what's been said already. > After all if we go through one big data deletion > and relicensing, what's to stop it happening again later? Have you read the proposed contributor terms? I'm not sure whether your question is just rhetorical speculation, or whether you have suggested changes to the proposed contributor terms that might help solve whichever problem it is you think that there might be in the future.
